How can we empower the public and communities to build awareness and demand for green buildings?

Buildings remain one of the key producers of greenhouse gases contributing to global warming. Green buildings mitigate the negatives of traditional buildings, but the stakeholders defining the green building conversation have largely been industry groups and governments, with the public largely being absent and out of focus. The World Green Building Council seeks your ideas for engaging the hearts and minds of the public to increase awareness on green buildings and their benefits, to create a demand for them across a broad spectrum of communities and occupants – and make the green building movement a mainstream conversation.
